Durability and fatigue testing

How do vehicle components behave under extreme loads? In which areas is a component stressed and how can it be optimized? How is the material fatigued after thousands of test kilometers of a prototype fleet? Durability testing provides answers to all of these questions.

Robust measurement and test stand solutions from imc

Whether on the test track, in the laboratory or on the test bench - imc offers a multitude of test and measurement solutions for data acquisition as well as for subsequent analysis. The robust and modular imc measurement devices offer complete sensor conditioning for all sensor types and measurement bridges. They guarantee an uninterrupted power supply and are self-start capable. Vehicle buses can be synchronously integrated.

Measurement systems for durability testing

The robust imc measurement systems create the foundation for data acquisition. The modular design and universal measurement amplifier technology allow tailoring each system to the signals to be measured. Depending on the scope of the instrumentation, a number of measurement systems can be used, networked and synchronously acquire thousands of channels.

Comfortable software for acquisition, visualization and automation

The complete operation and display of the measurement is carried out via the measurement software imc STUDIO. This allows for a comfortable configuration of the measurement - even without being connected to the system. In addition, it offers numerous visualization options for measurement data. The imc Curve Window offers extensive 1D, 2D and 3D display possibilities, as well as various interactive graphics elements.

Configure and measure

With imc STUDIO, you are ready to start your measurement in a few minutes. A clearly organized channel configuration list, extensive sorting and filtering functions, numerous assistants, built-in sensor management and support of TEDS are just some of the useful functions for achieving quick, intuitive system configuration.

Data display and system operation

With just a few mouse clicks, you can design tailor-made user interfaces with the imc STUDIO Panel, and link them to the system’s inputs and outputs. Choose from over 100 predefined instrument templates and elements (widgets) to create your own personal test and measurement interface.

Simplify test stand automation

Let control of the test environment be an integral part of your measurement application! When testing components, imc STUDIO not only measures the performance of the test object, but also allows you to integrate real-time automation and control for your test station - without programming one line of code. You simply define a state oriented test process and use drag & drop to insert ready-made functions for specifying target values, actuator profiles, control logic and even multi-variable closed-loop control systems.

Open Interfaces

Using the imc STUDIO Third Party Device Interface plug-in, it is possible to integrate devices from other manufacturers (3rd-party devices) into imc STUDIO and run them in the imc STUDIO system.

Automating routine tasks

Save time by automating routine measurement processes using imc STUDIO. Use the drag & drop technique to create your own personal test sequence by selecting from a wide variety of functions – such as channel balancing, entering test object data, starting measurements, saving data, running analyses and printing out a report. That's it!

Recording and playback of videos

imc STUDIO Video addresses the increasing demand to combine and synchronize conventional measurement data with video capture. Simply connect a video camera, and imc STUDIO will take care of the rest. Like any measurement channel, the video channel is automatically synchronized, and offers pre- and post-triggering, versatile storage options and a replay function.
